Thanks for the video, I just did this and it went smoothly. **TIPS** 1. TIE STRINGS TO THE CONNECTORS BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD ELEMENT, then retie them to the new connectors so you can pull them back up through the condenser. 2. I bought 5mm aluminum hobby flat wire instead of the $50 aluminum strip sold to hold the element in place. 3. You can defrost with a heat gun and limp along while you get the parts together and find a good time to do this. I used a towel to soak up water when defrosting to make sure I did not overflow the pan (not sure if this is necessary). 4. As with all projects, a portable work light helps.

All excellent suggestions. You have helped a lot of people. I was there on an alternative clip and should have known about the string but glad I read your post!

Remove the rivet, then you won't have to bend the heck out of the sides. :) I was wondering about the triangular shape of the new element. Good to know it can be bent straight.

You shouldn't have to use a drill.

I've replaced defrost heater twice within a year, but it is not working again, could it be another problem. It works for a few months

I replaced my defrost thermostat sensor and my fridgidair still freezes up on me. Should i also replace the defrost heating element as well??

You can test the heating element with an ohm meter and see if it is bad. Here is a DYI to test the heater... kzitem.info/news/bejne/0m2e36edoqKro4Y

Leave it to Frigidaire to rivet the evaporator to the evap pan. Engineering at its best

Dude, you drill out the rivet so you don't have to bend up the parts. You especially shouldn't try to bend the refrigerent lines because they can crimp or break and cause a leak very easily. You then would have to soulder the copper lines using a coupling or worst if you crimp or break the aluminum lines you will have to replace the evaporator coil, which is a very expensive fix that would have to be done by a professional.
